Unexpected Shut Downs

I love fox4 KC when it comes to TV but this app is frustrating. I will be reading an article and all of a sudden the app closes and my phone goes to my main screen. You then have to reopen the app and relocate the article you were reading. Also every time I open the app it takes up more and more space on my phone's storage. I don't understand why because I don't save any articles. It was up to 660MB so I deleted the app and reinstalled it. The storage amount went back down to 20MB but it's now over 100MB after using the app a few times. What is causing this? The weather app doesn't increase in storage usage.

This needs some serious work

So if we are supposed to get all of the local breaking news from this app, why is it that when you load this app using accessibility features such as voiceover and or magnification settings the app chokes? Instead of improving the app, it’s getting worse. So much so that voiceover now crashes. My phone has not shut down on me, but I’m afraid that it may do that if I keep running this application. Please update this app for accessibility and looks. If nothing else, at least accessibility. This is very horrible that this is not been addressed.

How about more updates?

Rarely do you find a local story get updated when it says ‘check back for updates’. If something does get updated, it may be in a different link you have to search for or luck into finding. Enjoy the content otherwise.
